William Embury argued in 'Motherland', his highly-regarded book on Wenaism and its role in the political and social development of Gruenberg, this is "''the most significant sentence ever written in the history of Gruenberg...acknowledging the ultimate subservience of the Court to the Mother Goddess...at its very core, Gruenberg remains a nation bound by ties not of devotion to its monarchy, but to its religion''".

Wenaism is the state religion of Gruenberg. Official figures routinely put observance at 100%: whilst these are doubtless exaggerations, Wenaism certainly was a popular faith long before the Court chose to officially impose adherence on its citizens. Gruenberg's status as a Wenaist nation is confirmed by the constitution, the first article of which reads:
"...that Gruenberg shall act as one nation under Wena, Mighty Goddess Of All Things, and commit itself at all times in every act to upholding the core beliefs of her faith..."
William Embury argued in 'Motherland', his highly-regarded book on Wenaism and its role in the political and social development of Gruenberg, this is "the most significant sentence ever written in the history of Gruenberg...acknowledging the ultimate subservience of the Court to the Mother Goddess...at its very core, Gruenberg remains a nation bound by ties not of devotion to its monarchy, but to its religion". Dismissed by many as overstatement, there is probably a certain truth in the claim: certainly, no less a luminary than H.D. Welch noted that "without the fortune of their genuine link to the heart of Wenaism...the rise of the [Woltzten family] would not only have been significantly more difficult, but quite probably impossible."
